Michael Fasusi ‘is a believer’ in Texas A&M HC Mike Elko after recruiting visit

Michael Fasusi is coming off a successful visit at Texas A&M this weekend

This weekend was by far the busiest for Texas A&M, as the college baseball Super Regional and Saturday’s Mexico vs. Brazil soccer matchup in Kyle Field had the campus buzzing. However, head football coach Mike Elko and his staff are also hosting a talented list of 2025 recruiting prospects.

While the list is long, 2025 five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi continues to be the No. 1 priority for the blue-chip prospects. The current favorites to land his commitment happen to be the rival Texas Longhorns, who are officially entering the SEC in July.

During his first official visit to College Station, Elko and his staff, most notably new offensive line coach Adam Cushing, laid out the red carpet for the Lewisville, Texas native, who will be taking consecutive weekend visits to Oklahoma (June 14) and Texas (June 21) before ultimately making his final decision.

So, how did his visit go overall? According to multiple sources, including Rivals’ Landy Rosow, Fasusi has grown closer to Elko and Cushing over the weekend, trusting what the program has to offer regarding his future development:

“I trust Coach Elko and Coach Cushing.”

In talking to On3’s Chad Simmons, Fasusi’s brief but revealing quotes about the new era of Texas A&M Football under Mike Elko speak volumes about how the program has already progressed in just seven months under Elko’s guidance.

“I am down with the Elko era at A&M.”

Standing at 6 feet, 4 inches, and nearly 300 pounds, Fasusi is highly versatile. He has experience at both tackle spots. However, due to his quickness and impressive footwork, his future is clearly at left tackle. With more programs to visit this summer, the Aggies have certainly left a positive mark this weekend.

According to 247Sports, Fasusi is currently positioned as the 27th-ranked prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, the 5th-ranked offensive tackle, and the 7th-ranked prospect in Texas.

The race to land 2025 5-star OT Michael Fasusi is a tight one

It’s coming down to the wire for the programs in play to land 2025 5-star OT Michael Fasusi

Every recruiting cycle, there are usually one, two, or even more elite offensive line prospects who every blue-blood program is vying to land no matter the scheme fit or past success in O-line development. That prospect in the 2025 recruiting class is five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi.

Hailing from Lewisville, Texas, Fasusi is scheduled to take an official visit to College Station on June 6 as well as consecutive weekend visits to Oklahoma (June 14) and Texas (21) after visiting Missouri and LSU earlier this month.

However, nothing is set in stone, as Fasusi recently spoke to On3’s Chad Simmons regarding where every contending program stands heading into the summer:

“At the end of the day, I’m just going to let it play out and see what school comes out on top.”

Given Fasusi’s approach, it’s clear he’s carefully considering his options. Each official program visit will play a crucial role in determining his best collegiate fit. It’s worth noting that all three programs- Texas, Oklahoma, and College Station- have a rich history of developing offensive linemen over the past three decades.

So far this offseason, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko, alongside O-line coach Adam Cushing, has landed five offensive line commitments in the 2025 recruiting class:

  • Four-star OT Jonte Newman
  • Four-star OT Marcus Garcia
  • Four-star IOL Connor Carty
  • Three-star OT Tyler Thomas
  • Three-star OL Joshua Moses

2025 5-Star OL Michael Fasusi will reportedly make an announcement On April 1

A top schools reveal? Most likely

This could mean anything, but after taking two consecutive visits to Texas A&M, 2025 5-star offensive lineman Michael Fasusi has announced through X that he will make an announcement of some sort on Monday, April 1, and yes, we are aware that it is also April Fools Day.

Staying in the realm of reality, this could be one of two outcomes: A commitment reveal, which is highly unlikely with several future visits lined up, or, more likely, a top schools reveal.

Simply watching his 2023 tape, Fasusi is an exceptional athlete with immediate starting potential as soon as his first collegiate season. Not since former starting Texas A&M guard Kenyon Green have I watched a prospect with such elite traits, both as a run blocker and in pass protection.

Standing at 6-4 and nearly 300 pounds, Fasusi is highly versatile with experience at both tackle spots, but his future is clearly set at left tackle due to his quickness and impressive footwork.

According to 247Sports Composite, Fasusi is currently positioned as the 11th-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the second-ranked offensive tackle, and the third-ranked prospect in Texas.

With nearly 40 offers already, it looks like Fasusi is down to choosing between Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M.

Several high profile 2025 prospects set to visit Texas A&M this weekend

The Aggies are set to host several high priority 2025 prospects this weekend in the midst of spring practices

Texas A&M’s spring football season has begun, and new head coach Mike Elko and his staff are working hard with the current roster. They are bringing back a bevy of talent and experience on offense and defense, including key players from the transfer portal.

While these practices coincide with the spring transfer portal window opening on April 15, every program will likely be affected by the need to meet its roster number or add more talent.

What does this mean to the Aggies? Recruiting becomes even more important down the stretch. It has been confirmed that several high-profile 2025 prospects, including 2025 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi, will make their way to College Station this weekend.

Fasusi, who visited Texas A&M last weekend, has already scheduled an official visit in June, as Elko will continue to battle for his commitment with Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian.

Joining Fasusi, 4-star tight end Kiotti Armstrong and 4-star linebacker commit Kelvion Riggins will also return to campus this weekend, as Riggins, who committed to the program back in January, has reportedly “shut down” his recruitment until further notice.

Armstrong, who recorded nine receiving touchdowns during his 2023 junior season, already paid an unofficial visit to CSTAT in early February, while an official visit is scheduled for June 13.

2025 5-Star OT out of Lewisville (TX) will visit Texas A&M this summer

It has been confirmed that 2025 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi will visit College Station in late June

Recruiting the Lone Star State becomes even tougher with the Texas Longhorns officially joining the SEC in July. New Texas A&M Football head coach Mike Elko will now battle the Longhorns without the advantage of simply stating, “We’re in the SEC.”

So far, so good, as Elko and his staff have already landed three players in the 2025 recruiting class, and the momentum will continue through the summer as several high-ranking prospects will make their way to College Station, including 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi.

After visiting the Aggies during the program’s annual junior day weekend, Fasusi has already scheduled three official visits, including a trip back to Texas A&M on June 6-8, with trips to Oklahoma on June 14 and Texas on June 21.

On the field, Fasusi is an elite talent, no doubt about it, starting at right tackle for Lewisville (TX) since his 2022 sophomore season, earning Texas District 6-6A Offensive Newcomer of the Year due to his high-level play at such a young age.

Standing at 6-4 and weighing over 285 pounds, Fasusi has the size, footwork, balance, and athleticism to thrive on the outside but can also move inside if needed at the next level. Every cycle, there’s at least one elite offensive prospect with the ability to start his freshman year, and just with the eye test, Fasusi looks to be that guy.

According to 247Sports composite rankings, Fasusi is currently positioned as the 11th-ranked player in the 2025 cycle, the 2nd-ranked offensive tackle, and the 3rd-ranked player in Texas.
